Eight and a half million people. Over 800 languages. Thousands of courtrooms, hospitals, boardrooms, and classrooms — all producing audio that needs to be transcribed correctly.

New York City Speech-To-Text Offerings
Human + AI Transcription Services
New York City's economic output exceeds $2.6 trillion, driven by finance, law, media, healthcare, and tech. Those industries produce a lot of audio. Rev handles the volume — whether you're uploading one file or running thousands a month
AI transcription turns your audio into text in minutes at 96%+ accuracy. Fast, affordable, and works well for internal meetings, interviews, research recordings, and more.
Human transcription adds a professional reviewer to the process, pushing accuracy to 99%+. That's what legal teams, medical providers, and journalists reach for when every word matters.
Human + AI Captions
Videos without captions get muted, skipped, and fail compliance checks. In a city where organizations produce more video content than almost anywhere in the country, closed captioning services in New York aren't optional — they're infrastructure.
Rev's AI captions are ready in minutes. Human-reviewed captions hit the accuracy standard required for broadcast, legal proceedings, and ADA compliance. Both options work with any video format — meetings, earnings calls, lectures, media programs, and social content.
New York's Human Rights Law goes further than most state laws, with broader protected classes and stronger enforcement mechanisms. If you're putting video out to the public, you need captions. Rev makes that fast and affordable.
Global Subtitles
NYC is the most linguistically diverse city on the planet. Over 800 languages are spoken across the five boroughs, which means your content needs to reach people who aren't reading in English.
Rev supports subtitling services in 17 different languages. So if you’re part of a law firm communicating with non-English-speaking clients, a university serving international student bodies, or a media company distributing content globally, we’ll handle the translation and formatting. Your content will work wherever it's going.

New York City Laws You Should Know
One-Party Consent (N.Y. Penal Law § 250.05)
New York only requires one person in the conversation to consent to recording — and that person can be you. The catch: if anyone on the call is in a two-party state like California or Massachusetts, their law may apply.
Heads Up on Pending Legislation
Two 2025 Senate bills — S5077 and S5070 — would push New York toward all-party consent. While no decisions have been made yet, it’s worth keeping an eye on.
ADA & NYC Human Rights Law
If you're publishing a video, it needs captions. Federal ADA law says so, and the NYC Human Rights Law adds another layer of enforcement.
HIPAA
Transcribing patient audio? Your vendor needs to comply with HIPAA guidelines, and sign a BAA, both of which Rev does.
Court Transcript Standards
NY state courts and the federal Southern and Eastern Districts have specific regulations for transcripts submitted in proceedings. Choose Rev's human services option if it's going to court.
